What is a "base"?

A base is the bottom part of a column or pillar that provides support and stability. It is designed to distribute the weight of the column evenly across the surface beneath it, ensuring that the structure remains secure. Bases can vary in shape and style, often featuring decorative elements that enhance the overall appearance of the column. In classical architecture, bases are typically wider than the column itself, creating a solid foundation and adding to the visual balance of the structure.

the form to which affixes or other morphological operations are added to create a new word

What is a "base"?

A base is the core part of a word to which affixes, such as prefixes or suffixes, can be added. It typically carries the main meaning of the word and can stand alone as a complete word or be combined with other morphemes to create derivatives. For example, in the word "unhappiness", the base is "happy", which conveys the primary meaning, while the prefix "un-" and the suffix "-ness" modify that meaning. Understanding the base of a word is essential for analyzing its structure and for recognizing how different forms and meanings can be derived from it in a language.
